Figure 16: Size of Constituencies and the Percentage of Seats Allocated for Compensation152
Notes
Mixed-member proportional systems form the first row on the left where single-member constituencies are used. All other systems make use of multi- member constituencies. Guyana’s electoral system uses both multi- and single-member constituencies. Angola’s regional constituencies include five seats for each province regardless of population size leading to malapportionment at the constituency level, necessitating more compensatory seats to restore proportionality.Back to text
